Around their small cauiplire. which
they sheltered with rocks in order not

their eventful adventures.

And to the breathless amazement of
Jisrher and Quabba the Knglisli lawyer
brought from his breast pocket, in the
, most mutter of fact maimer, the dia- '
mend from the sky!
Again and again the Kuglisliiunu ex- '
plained the strange place and the J
! strange manner of its finding. Kstlier j
and l^uabba could not grasp or solve ,
! the mystery of the strange reappear- |
| a nee of the heirloom.
As for the Knglisli lawyer, lie only
i asked to be rid of it. "1 wish no fur- !
tiler responsibilities, and I would not
i stay on the veldt or in the jungles of I
America for a leather hatbox full of;

| "So please deliver it to this Mr. Powell j

lawyer scratched his head in a puzzled i

lie was not surprised. Nothing i
